The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, looking at the same stretch of water in feet and miles. The water temps are sitting at about 77°, which feels a touch warmer than your usual July average, so a springy shortie or even boardies might be the call for the first few days.
The best bet on the board for the next week is Riviere de Galets (Riviere-de-Galets). This reef and point break is a fairly consistent spot, and it's the one to watch. The standout day is Friday, July 31st. The morning session is where it's at. You've got a clean 6 ft SW groundswell rolling in. The wind is light and cross-offshore, which should leave the faces looking like glass. It's a solid call for experienced surfers—not too big for a good time, but with plenty of push from that 16-second period. It's a point break, so that long period will wrap in nicely and give you some proper lines. Just a heads up, it can get crowded here sometimes, so don't sleep in.
Leading up to Friday, the earlier part of the week is a bit of a warm-up. Thursday the 30th morning offers a smaller 5 ft SSW swell under light cross-shore breezes, but by afternoon you’re looking at rain and a drop-off. The rest of the weekend into Monday keeps a similar size—around 6 ft to 7 ft—but the winds turn more onshore or cross-shore, making it messy and textured.
Looking further out, there is a bit of a lull in real quality. From around Wednesday, August 5th through the following weekend, the swell sticks around but gets a bit lumpy and the period drops off. By the time we hit Sunday, August 9th, the swell is predicted to push up hard to 10 ft, but that's going to be a problem for this spot. At that size, with the wind turning strong and cross-onshore, it's only for experts if it's even rideable. It's more of a big, choppy mess for paddle surfing, and honestly, if you've got a kite, that might be the more interesting option for that Sunday and Monday.
The week of August 10th and beyond is a no-go zone for quality. The swell holds at 8 ft to 10 ft, but we are dealing with fresh winds in the 18 to 22 mph range from the east and southeast. Everything is lumpy, cross-onshore, with a shallow period. The reef and point will probably close out or just be a washing machine.
So, to keep it simple: your window is this coming Tuesday through Friday. Lock in Friday morning for the best session of the whole 16-day forecast. Everything after that gets heavy and ugly.
Rusty out.
